It sure has made me sit back and give thanks for many things in my own life. You and John have given your girls the nurturing and bonding to become such happy, loving and joyful children. You are all blessed with each other.

Thanksgiving is a good time to sit down and "ponder" the blessings we have. I've enjoyed having the chance to "see things through your eyes" by reading your blog and I think it's a great way to learn as well. You've done a good job of educating us about the twins' conditions.<BR/>I keep you and yours in my prayers.

Expecting a baby myself, I have been amazed at how it brings loved ones together. This is what I've been thankful for, and you did a wonderful job articulating that. Even those whom you haven't spoken to in awhile reappear out of the woodwork to offer their kind words. It's fantastic to feel so loved and to love in such a way! We enjoyed spending time with you, John, and the girls. You and John are such wonderful and loving parents, and your girls reflect that in their actions and personalities. They are truly a joy to be around, and you two are most inspiring in your relationships toward your daughters and toward eachother! I can't wait for our next get together, it was fun!

Your words really reached home for me this morning. So true and many are the blessings that we all have to count in our lives once we take the time to count them.

Thanks for taking the time to do it. When I count my Blessings you are all right there at the top. With all my children and my grandchildren. We all really need to slow down, sit down and count our blessings. It has been an incredible journey but it isn't over each day the blessings keep comming. Every time I see Eden pick up a cheerio and put it in her mouth or Hollie set up it brings tears to my eyes. Just looking at them does. Thanks again.
